M M will be hired by and working for the architect. He wished to know who will represent the county and do our documentation. Attorney Brandenburg explained that will be this gentleman's job - to document on a day to day basis under the architect's supervision. We will be looking solely to the architect for the supervision on that job site through this individual. There will be only two people on the job site - the architect and his employees and the contractor and his employees. Commissioner Wodtke inquired what kind of reports this person will be making, and Attorney Brandenburg stated that at the time we make the change in the contract, we can lay out exactly what we want this individual to do, i.e., each day make a notation of the group that is on site - how many people - what sub -contractors, etc. We are also requiring that prior to starting the job, the general contractor provide us with a complete schedule using the critical path method, which we will have on site to gauge his performance as he goes along. The Chairman requested that Mr. Bail explain how we are splitting the bid. Mr. Bail reported that they first are taking bids on the jail detention equipment, which represents about 1/4 of the project. This is to give the Board better control over the selection of the detention contractor so it doesn't become a shopping proposition later on by the bidders. These bids will be received approximately ten or more days prior to receipt of the general contractor bids. If the Board then decides to award the contract to a particular detention contractor, the general con- tractors will be instructed to use that bid in preparing their bids. Commissioner Bird hoped we will go into this with the thought that we will take a very hard line with any change orders. He did believe this situation would not be as difficult with a new building, however. 35 NOV 14 1984 J
